I'm thankful for my wife and son and my amazing parents! Not only are they just great people who are more than helpful, but they have taught me so much about life... I'm a very lucky man.
even tho this is probally late i still wish to say this. in the last few years i have had 3 strokes which have taken thier toll on me. being 51 and partially disabled by this i still have much to be thamkfull for. the one most thing i am thankfull for is my mother. without her i do not know how i would survive. she takes care of the things i am unable to do. she should have me taking care of her not the other way around. she is a remarkable person who i cherish very much. and each day i thank the lord for this day and the love of my mother.

Great idea to help us think about all of the positive things in our lives. Anyone who has read this thread, has been allowed to reflect upon their own lives, and those who influence it. To anyone who is just reading, please respond, as this is the powerful point, putting your thoughts & ideas onto paper. Perhaps this thread can continue? Allowing people to take a moment from their busy lives.
P.S. I am thankful for my station in life as well. I have a great family, which I don't always appreciate, wonderful children (9 & 6 who always seem to want my attention ; parents who are aging (70's and slowing down quickly), but still support us in so many ways; my wife, who generally loves me for who and what I am, and supports my ideas, as crazy as they sometimes are. I will go on in my head, rather than continue to fill more space here....Thanks for the opportunity!
I started this thread as a place to reflect and as a contest. The winners were selected by random drawing and james40 and roland_7707 have each received a $50 ccom gift certificate. I am not wealthy but I'm very blessed and fortunate. It has been suggested that this thread continues. Great idea. Receiving is great but I find giving to be much more rewarding. Giving does not have to be monetary. I encourage everyone to live in the moment, enjoy life, family, and friends. I hope everyone will encourage and support their children and/or young people in their lives. This old geezer, (me), didn't fare too well in this regard when my sons were young. But, damn it, I've been doing my best to make amends with them and the grandchildren. Hope you all have a great day and a Merry Christmas.
Luko, great story! Thanks for sharing. Very well-written. So much so that I almost feel I was there. Wish I had been. I am so pleased with the path this thread has taken. I'm sure your words will help it continue. And no, It's not cheesy. Expressing feelings of love, respect, and caring never are. When more people realize this we will have even a greater country and a better world. Thanks again for taking the time to share. I hope everyone responds to this post and takes time to share.
